| Drug
Rehab was brought about to combat the evil effect
of drug addiction as its use became more and more
prevalent among teenagers and adolescents. The
punk and rock culture that was prevalent made
the use of these drugs appear 'cool' and once
caught in the grip of this evil, the individual
became more and more dependent on its use.
Drug
Rehabilitation is basically a support system,
which offers substance abuse treatment for recovery
from any type of addiction viz drugs and alcohol.
Through it, the individual is helped to reduce
dependency on whatever substance abuse he has
been using so far. He/she also learns
behavioural
changes and is prescribed medication as part
of their rehab.
Drug
rehab is where those addicted to drugs learn
that their conditions are treatable.
Counselling,
psychotherapy, support groups or family therapy
are all a part of drug rehab.
It is often advised that a patient stays at
least 3 months in drug rehab, as those who stay
longer have better results than those who spend
less time.
Drug
rehab is about undergoing a process of de-addiction
so that staying and remaining clean becomes
a habit. It is all about getting stable and
remaining stable long after the treatment is
over.
Most
of those who enter drug rehab often undergo
a 9 step path which is a road leading to recovery
depending on the mindset of the patient and
how much he/she wishes to come totally clean.
